4.10's locked and loaded
I got the install of my eaton locker done last night, I was a little worried that even a 10% decrease in rear gear might bog my 250 I6, but all I can say is WOW! Lockers rock
Turning a truck 90 degrees around a corner with nothing but the throttle is awesome......but leaving two 'S' patterened rubber patches in your wake will bring a smile to anyones face! My front and rear gears finally match.....next step is tires (these have been bald for far too long!) Long term I have a built 250 to go into the engine bay to compliment the headers and 4bbl on there now.

Re: 4.10's locked and loaded
Sounds like your next set of tires will go bald even quicker than this set that needs replaced

Hows that souped 250 push your truck around? I take it that she has enough balls lay a little rubber......

Re: 4.10's locked and loaded
The 250 pushes the truck really well, I am a little concerend about what a swap from 31's to 35's will do.....thinking my 250 sitting in my garage is going to need a toquey cam swapped in to replace the one the PO put into it (he was planning on installing the souped up 250 in a nova backed by a PG).
It leaks a little oil, but even with the 450 cfm 4bbl the mpg is 13~15mpg....hopefully slightly better with 4.10's (but my speedo is now so screwed up, I am not sure how I would judge my total miles traveled).

Re: 4.10's locked and loaded
13-15mpg is nothing to laugh at for an old 3/4ton 4x4 truck. Thats pretty damn good mileage!
